World AIDS Day – Interview with Stephen Lewis in Pambazuka News……On World Aids Day 2005, UN Special Envoy for HIV/Aids in Africa Stephen Lewis - [1] answering questions from Pambazuka News – adds his voice to those telling western leaders to keep their promises made on fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic, warning that ‘resting easy’ once promises are made is ‘pure folly’ and pointing to evidence of backsliding following G8 commitments earlier this year. In the interview, Lewis answers questions on the slow-footed global response to the epidemic, his often outspoken statements and where the ‘big breakthrough’ in the fight against HIV/Aids will come from”.
